that the Prohibition party is the agency through
which we expect this to be accomplished.

Fairy Land.

The Operetta given at Reeds Opera
House last Friday evening, by the lit
tie folks of the city, was most pleas
ing and entertaining affair. The large
audience was delighted. and the little
performers were repeatedly encored.
The singing, especially the choruses,
showed great care and training. Too
much praise cannot be given to our
schools for the marked progress the
children have made in reading music,
for without the training they had al
ready received in vocal music, the en-
tertainment would net have been SO
successful. The tableaux were fine,
the Unfinished Prayer, by little May
Catlin, only A years old, was sweet.
The fairy scenes were fine, and all did
so we'll in their parts that it would be
unjust to mention some and not all.
The solos by Miss Stella Poe were
charming, and were received with
great applause.
The Cadets Picnic was the most COM
ical. The little old man and the little
old woman, by Gordon Meek and Miss
Dene Fletcher, could not be surpassed,
Ching Chang, the Chinaman, by Will
lie Ward, and the policemen, Earnest
Meek, Reed Freeman and Willie Ward
and Willie POSTS Mother Goose were
all excellent. The piano duet by Mrs.
and Miss Hurley was splen.
did. The pianist, Miss Edith Coe. |
performed her part with great credit |
to herself, considering the many
changes and difficult parts to be rem
dered. All did SO well, suffice it to say
that the delight of the audience, as ex-
pressed by yeciferous applause, must
satisfy the performers that their efforts
were appreciated.
By the urgent request of many who
attended the entertainment, the same
will be repeated ON next Saturday
evening, at the same place. 1t is hoped
here will be full house, as the en-
will be q rare treat.

forenoon, when Mrs. Hamilton, the
teacher of the village school, and hel
sister, Miss Beatty, the lady principal
of the College female department, were
presented with the telegram Come

but a few hours.n The name of their
brother signed the dispatch. School
and classes were dismissed and the two
were hurried to Hiram Station, where
they took the train for Cleveland but
ut the station they reread the dispatch
and one word caused doubts as to the
dispatch being meant for them, and
the hackman was requested to 1nves-
tigate the matter, which he did, and
luckily found that the dispatch was
designed for party in Freedom. The
depot policeman boarded the train on
lis arrival at Cleveland and informed
the ladies of the facts. 1t is needless
to say that they returned on the eve-
ming train in far betterspiriis than
when they left.

THE NeoCs of last evening inflicted upon
the city an alleged editorial under the
caption of Premature JOY" In this
brilliant and far-reaching effort it travelled
as far as Gloucester, Massachusetts in
search of proof that the Edmunds-
Tucker bill had not become law. The
rejoicings of the fishermen of the Massa-
chussetts coast over the retaliatory
measure were metamorphosed into
the provisions of the Utah polyg-
amy bill and the Presidents
signature was placed on duty in the fish
ing grounds Of the East instead of being
recorded against the angling for human
souls in Utah. But to-day the Edmunds-
Tucker bill is a law, and the Neocs edi-
torial is proved the waste-paper it was
really when written. No! most sapient
News, the reioicings of yesterday, and to-
day also, did not and do not refer to the
fisheries measure, but all the same
"scaly" polygamy will be actively and
vigorously scaled.

THE BILL.

The Utah bill is now law of the land.
THE DEMOCRAT would have preferred that
the President should have taken the bull
by the horns and signed it, instead of
allowing it to mature by non-action, but
the result is the same. AS THE DEMOCRAT
has heretofore said, the bill does not come
up to the requirements, but as the saying
is, cit is step in the right direction, +"
and the loyal people of Utah must accept
it and do the best they can under its pro-
visions. The Mormon question can only
be settled by wrestling the local political
power from the reasonable hands which
now WELD it, and transfer it to those
who will exercise it in harmony with the
Federal authority and in accordance
with Republican form of government
That is the whole thing in nutshell.
Whether this change can be effected un-
der the new law remains to be seen. 1t
is certainly the duty of the loyal people
of this Territory to leave no stone un-
turned to accomplish what was designed
by the formulators of the bill. This can
only be done by defeating the polyg-
amous and disloyal element at the
polls. There should be no division
among the American element upon
the main question, and such tao
tics should be adopted as will
best consolidate the forces against the
common enemy. The DEMOCRAT is con-
fident that this can be best accomplished
by the immediate and thorough organi-
zation of the two great National parties
tn the Territory, and by the consolida-
tion of their strength upon tickets made
up from representative men of both or
ganizations. This is the policy which
will be advocated by this paper, and it
will give such reasons in its advocacy, as
we are certain, will convince all intelli-
gent and unselfish loyalists of its wisdom.

WE acknowledge the receipt of con-
tinued story, under the specious disguise
of correspondence, with our recent edi-
torial obituary on the defunct pension
bill as the subject matter. The writer is
not angry; he is only sorry for the la
mentable condition of our brain power.
We regret to say that our space is more
valuable to us than the continued story
referred to could be of interest to our read
ers. However, we will not forget our
friends address, and, as we still intend
to revolve, if we should need crank we
will let him hear from US.

The ignorant scribe of an irresponsible
Mormon paper has been misleading its
readers into the belief that the failure of
the President to sign the Utah bill would
accomplish its defeat. They are prob
ably better informed now. No matter at
what hour bill is sent to the President,
If it is only minute before midnight, it
counts as day, and as both that day
and the date of adjournment are inclu-
sive, the necessary ten days were reached
yesterday, and the bill became law
without the signature OF the President.

THE Probate Judge feature of the new
law, not the least interesting, is the one
which has direct effect upon the juries
of the Territories. In choosing a jury
the Probate Judge and Clerk of the Dis
trict Court select the jurors alternately.
Heretofore the effect of this method has
been the selection of Mormons and Gen
tiles in equal numbers, the Judge being
a Mormon and the Clerk a Gentle.
Now this will be all changed. The Pro-
bate Judge and the District Court Clerk
will both be loyal men, and the result
will be loyal Jury.
